And they played all day
By Naomi Aldort
Excerpt
At the piano, 3-year-old Lennon plays random sounds. “Why don’t you teach him to play?” asks my visitor from the East Coast, who knows that I am a pianist. “He is learning,” I say. “I can never match the effectiveness of this natural way of mastering a skill.” My friend looks at me doubtfully. “When you come again for a visit next year you’ll see,” I say. Even though I have no idea where Lennon’s playing is going, I figure she’ll see growth in whatever he will do as long as he is free to play.
Linda’s comments
Naomi Aldort is amazing and believes in the value of loving parenting. She teaches the parents to know themselves and fix parts of themselves, which in turn influences their children’s development in an open loving acceptance of themselves.
